It doesn't really matter whether it is a hurricane or volcano plume... last time there was a volcanic eruption in Alaska/Pacific Northwest region and it impacted travel as well... no sticky there.

As for finding out each forum, does it really take that much effort to read the related airline's? A consolidated forum would even be messier, with people trying to sort through their own airline amongst all the other ones thrown in there. For an airline that isn't listed, there is a forum for airlines that are not listed; that would be an equally organized approach for those not listed.

If I recall correctly on the Lebanese Israeli event, it was not a sticky made on the top of every page... it was a thread and I thought it was a fine example of the communication medium FT is (especially w/ Dovster's and Beyflyer's updates). Comparing a sticky for weather to this just doesn't support the need for a sticky.

Besides, as I mentioned in the previous paragraph, I can't imagine it being in an orderly fashion when you have updates from all over the place for dozens of airlines. Who's gonna moderate and update it so the recent info is consolidated into one place? It's not like FT has the option of a summary page that can be edited by everyone.
